(5) 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. 13
Start with 5 in our head, then count up with fingers until the fingers show 8. Our counting voice tells us the answer is 13.
Strategy: Count on from first.

Number Facts

I don't know what 5 + 8 is, so I think about what I do know.
I know that 5 + 5 = 10, and I know that 8 = 5 + 3
So I'll take 5 + 5 = 10, and then add the 3 left over
10 + 3 = 13.

Ten Frame Facts

8 + 5 = ?
8 on one ten frame, 5 on another (we drew them). When we put them together we can take two from the 5 frame which gives us an even 10, with 3 left over, making 13 total.
